Righty Live Blogs Red Sox-Yankees from Fenway

Thus concludes my first live blog. Sox lose 5-1. Special shoutout to Fenway Park wifi for allowing me to get this done. I’ll update the blog with pictures and videos in the near future. Bon soir.

10:14 PM: Time of death.

10:08 PM: Sox have a man on to lead off the bottom of the 9th against ex-mate Andrew Miller.

10:00 PM: And the bakers gonna bake, bake, bake, bake, bake.

9:33 PM: Mookie strikes out after a long at bat to strand a runner on 3rd. 4-1 Yankees heading into the 8th. You Can Call Me Al plays between innings and takes the edge off.

9:12 PM: Robbie Ross Jr. has thrown 54 pitches in relief and is still going strong.

8:59 PM: Absolute gem turned in by Robbie Ross Jr. on a drag bunt attempt.

8:52 PM: Mookie leaves the yard. 4-1 Yankees.

8:48 PM: Buchholz left with elbow tightness. Son of a bitch.

8:40 PM: De Aza strikes out. Threat neutralized.

8:39 PM: Red Sox are threatening with 2 outs in the bottom of the 4th.

8:35PM: The fire alarm is going off on the 3rd base side. Fitting.

8:26 PM: One of the members of the ULA has pissed their pants. This is not a joke.

8:23 PM: Damnit Brock. Holt makes me look bad by booting a grounder, letting a run score, and letting the inning continue.

8:21 PM: Brock Holt is a true All-Star.

8:13 PM: Buchholz leaves with an injury. This is a disaster.

8:11 PM: Gregorius doubles putting runners on 2nd and 3rd with one out. Thank God the pitcher is up (aka Stephen Drew).

8:06 PM: Brock Holt is on #TeamHighSocks tonight.

7:55 PM: I’m going to murder the guy sitting next to me.

UPDATE: I’m going to have to post all updates above the fold instead of in chronological order because the WordPress mobile platform is some butt.

7:45 PM: Napoli gets plunked. Will Clay retaliate? Also bold isn’t working on the mobile dashboard.

Perfect night at Fenway. (Photo credit: Me)

7:36 PM: It is an absolutely perfect night at Fenway.

7:15 PM: There goes the shutout. A-Rod goes deep.

This is my first ever live blog so bear with me. I’m at Fenway with the ULA (that’s United Loads of America for the uniformed. My buddy Ben formed it high school to unite husky gentlemen. Apparently they’re heavily recruiting Pablo Sandoval). Buchholz vs. Pineda. Red Sox vs. Yankees. AL East up for grabs. Let’s go.

Sorry you guys. Last night was my buddy Geoff’s stag do and I didn’t get to bed until 5. I was planning on blogging as soon as I woke up, but by the time I rolled over at 12:30PM I had completely forgotten. I didn’t even do anything this morning. I played Backyard Baseball for PS2 for an hour and a half.

Anyway the Red Sox won last night in 10 innings.

Porcello had a quality start.

Pitchers IP  H  R ER BB SO HR ERA
Porcello 6.0 9 3 3 1 5 0 5.54

De Aza had an RBI double in the top of the 2nd. JBJ also had a sac fly in that inning.

Napoli scored on a double steal with Swihart in the 4th.

Xander made a heads up play in the bottom of the 8th, cutting down Longoria who was trying to advance to 3rd with one out.

Mookie sparked the game-winning rally with a leadoff double in the top of the 10th, extending his hitting streak to 13 games in the process.

The next batter was Brock Holt! who singled Betts home, giving the Red Sox a 4-3 lead.

Koji closed the door with a 1-2-3 bottom of the tenth with two strikeouts.

All Red Sox starters had one hit, except for Ortiz who had two.
